Buffy to Be Back on the Big Screen

The new movie will not have any connection to Joss Whedon's 1997 WB series, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, and would not include popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the big screen remake is in the works with original movie director Fran Rubel Kuzui - who directed 1992's Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Kristy Swanson - and her husband, Kaz Kuzui.

Fran said: "It was Vertigo's interest in taking Buffy into a new place that grabbed us. Everything has its moment. Every movie takes on a life at some point and this seems like the moment to do this."

The reboot is not being labeled a sequel or prequel, but rather a restart to the story line, similar to J.J. Abrams' reboot of Star Trek.
